Question about php and dreamweaver?

Question

I have apache, mysql, php installed manually on windows xp.

How can I make my dreamweaver configurable for php (so it can run php)..

I add this line:

<         


        

Answer 1

Dreamweaver does not run PHP itself afaik. You need a Webserver that is able to execute PHP scripts (on Windows I recommend XAMPP apachefriends.org for local testing)

Answer 2

This is how on CS5:

1. Click Site(in toolbar).
2. Click New Site.
3. Select the Servers tab and select the new server cross +
4. Select the Connect using: option box and choose Local/Network.
5. Select Server Folder: as the root to your htdocs. e.g:C:\xampp\htdocs and the Web URL: as http://localhost
6. Click Save.

Adding a new file to the project:

In the Business catalyst panel(to the bottom right), Right click the connection - New file. Rename it extension .php and your good to go.

UPDATE: PHP will not purse PHP in .html files by default.

Todo this: Create a .htaccess file and place this in it:

RemoveHandler .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

Hope this helps
